My son asked me to make thank you cards for the graduation gifts he received. He asked for something masculine with no ribbon, I count that as meaning no bows. He asked for masculine colors as well. I did a few prototype cards and this design is the one he chose, he wanted it kept simple. I decided to monogram the cards instead of using decorative stamps. I love the DIY monogram stamper from JustRite, it was perfect for this project. I chose SU's Chocoloate Chip ink for the monogram, I simply used the re-inker to fill up JustRite's ink pad for the stamper. For the sentiment I used the set of sentiment stamps from Flourishes.

I think this card and the colors your chose are outstanding. I have not been inspired to join SCS until I saw your designs and wanted to let you know how really classy they are. Thanks for the inspiration and the wonderful ideas.

Jerri,
Would you share with me which size Nestabilities you used for the punch out the momogram and the circle around the monogram? I have a Cuttlebug and just want to make sure I buy the right set of Netabilities.
Thanks, Sheila
